soldier, lawyer politician, and has had expert
ence in the Constitutional Convention and Legsi-
laiure of his State-was President of the former
body, and is Speaker of the latter. This is fal
better preparation for seat in the Senate than

Jones in the United States Senate. He is I'm
doubtedly the best man in the State for this posi-
iion" That was very shrewd prediction ant
shows the Herald editor 10 be a very far seem,
